 The Top Reasons Companies Block Social
Media at Work - A survey
Employee misuse of social networking sites can have a potentially costly impact on
business. Business leaders have expressed rising concerns about risks such as:
Misuse of confidential information (80%)
Misrepresenting the views of the business (71%)
Inappropriate non-business use (67%)
Disparaging remarks about the business or employees (64%)

Perhaps the biggest concern is that social media is wasting employees time.
 Social Media is Linked with a Drop in
Productivity
More than half of employees waste an hour or more at work every day, social media
has become their second-biggest time waster (after news sites).
One-third of the U.S. workforce uses social media for at least an hour each workday.
Social media can also disrupt workflow.
Nearly half of all employees get interrupted at least every 15 minutes, and almost 60
percent of these interruptions involve digital tools such as social networks or switching
back and forth between windows.
Many companies are choosing to block social media access at work because of the
fear of employees misusing it resulting drop in productivity.
 What is Facebook at Work?
An enterprise social networking platform built for employees within an
organisation to communicate among co-workers.
Things you share using your work account will only be visible to other
people at your company.
Facebook at Work gives you a chance to make a work account that is
separate from your own Facebook account.
With a Facebook at Work account, you can utilize Facebook instruments
to collaborate with the firm.
Things you share utilizing your work record might be accessed effeciently
by other individuals at an organization.

Profiles, Groups, News Feed and Work Chat. These
core features allow companies to make
information flow and break barriers within

 TECHNOLOGY USED IN THE APP

Linux & Apache

Linux is a Unix-like PC working framework portion. It's open source,
exceptionally adjustable, and useful for security. Facebook runs the Linux
working framework on Apache HTTP Servers. Apache is likewise free and is the
most mainstream open source web server being used.
MySQL
Facebook uses MySQL for the database as a result of its pace and
reliability. MySQL is utilized essentially as a key-esteem store as information is
arbitrarily disseminated amongst an extensive arrangement of sensible
occasions. These sensible cases are spread out crosswise over physical hubs
and burden adjusting is done at the physical hub level.

PHP
Facebook utilizes PHP on the grounds that it is a decent web programming
dialect with broad backing and a dynamic designer group and it is useful for
fast cycle. PHP is a powerfully scripting dialect.
Memcache
Memcache is a memory storing framework that is utilized to accelerate
dynamic database-driven sites (like Facebook) by reserving information and
items in RAM to diminish perusing time. Memcache is Facebook's essential

Cassandra (database)
Cassandra is a database administration framework intended to handle a
lot of information spread out crosswise over numerous servers. It powers
Facebook's Inbox Search highlight and gives an organized key-esteem store
with consequent consistency.
Varnish
It helps to manage the load of the website and also serve contents at the
faster rate. It also serves photos uploaded and handles billions of friend

Benefits of Facebook at Work for
organisation
1. Online Meetings, Video Conferencing and Webinars
The features offered by Work Chat definitely makes Facebook at work an
indirect competitor of online meetings and video conferencing
software's such as Cisco's WebEx, Citrix's GoToMeeting or Google Hangouts.
The main advantage behind this to ease the work environment in the
organisation within a single application.

2. Video Management
Hosting and sharing videos have been an issue in most companies I've worked in.
Despite the need, very few are actually willing to invest in an internal video platform.
Facebook at Work is video-ready and is able to deliver on that promise. Facebook
Live would also allow employees to record and store video on-the-go from any
smartphone.

3. Instant Messaging, Team Communication and Chat Bots
Work Chat is the central feature for instant communication.
Like Cisco's Jabber and Microsoft Lync, it is ridiculously easy to reach any co-worker within
the company and create a one-to-one or many-to-many conversation.
The implementation of chat bots in the near future would also bring a new layer of
productivity to Work Chat. The success of slack has definitely opened the way for
Facebook on that matter.

4. Apps
Adoption in the workplace is all about integrating into an existing environment. Apps
would be a good way to solve that.
Facebook at work provides a solution to it by integrating with Office or Google Apps
would definitely come in handy for employees.
5. Virtual Assistant
It is a major component of Facebook's 10-year road map. And we know Menlo Park
is already working on M, a virtual assistant. It would be interesting to see how this feature
would be implemented in the corporate world.
